we reserve the right to fill in a smaller or larger size or age than ordered, should we be

out of the size or age wanted, charging therefor at the size or age used in filling the order. Customers

should state preference of a larger or smaller grade. When varieties are ordered that we do not

Five of a variety at the 10 rate; 50 at the 100 rate; 500 or over at the 1000 rate;

10 peach, 10 BpEIe: 10 cherry, 10 evergreens, would be charged at the 100 rate. To secure this rate it is
necessary to order 50 trees or plants of a variety. However, where stock is offered ‘‘in assortment,’ for

ments. Unless otherwise instructed, we release freight shipments to value of $5.00 or $3.00 per cwt.,
according to classification governing, in order that customers may obtain the lower freight rates thereby.

On shipment of stock in good order our control ceases, hence our responsibility also, and we do not
guarantee stock to live, nor do we replace free of charge that which dies or fails to grow, nor can
we, as success or failure depends largely upon climatic conditions, planting, after care, etc.

amounts to not less than $1.00 if by express or $3.00 by freight), so that one may krow
cost of an order delivered to depot here. In comparing prices, where prices do not include packing, the
additional charge on 1000 trees 5 to 6 feet is $8.00 to $10.00; on 1000 trees 4 to 5 ft., $7.00 to $9.00; on
1000 trees 3 to 4 ft., $5.00 to $7.00. Smaller lots comparatively higher. Evergreens cost more.

PRICE LIST FOR FALL 1908 AND SPRING 1909 I

TO OUR ERIENDS and PATRONS.

We sincerely thank all our customers and friends who have so generously patronized us in this and
former years, for your favors. We appreciate them, we assure you, and shall always strive to make your
dealings with us both pleasant and profitable. f ( ;

We hope to hear from all our old customers and friends during the coming season, and frcm as many
new ones as we can make it an object through our prices and manner of dealing direct with them, to kindly
avor_ us with their orders. i

References. To those unacquainted with us, we would refer to Mr. W. T. Sabert, Cashier State Bank;
Mr. H. B. Boyd, Cashier First National Bank; Red Front Mercantile Co.; or any cther business hcuse in
Sarcoxie. We consider our business of 33 years standing, numbering customers in almost all states, an

excellent reference in itself.
NO AGENTS. WE SELL DIRECT.

In answer to numerous inquiries, we here state that we have not, since we kegan business, employed
any agents. ? k
_ Our efforts are directed toward the growing of Fruit Trees, Forest and Evergreen Trees and Plants,
which shall be the best that can be produced. Hence we look to the growing as of first importance and
offer our stock direct to you through our price list, our enly authorized agent.

LOCATION

Our nurseries are located on the Western slope of the Ozark mountain range, at an elevation of over
1150 feet above the sea level (about 800 feet above St. Louis), adjoining open prairie lands. These-con-
ditions, together with the character of the soil, will at once convey the superior advanteges we hold for
growing Nursery Stock of the best quality, and maturing same in advance of the more northern and south-

ern states. :
STORAGE AND PACKING EQUIPMENT

Our Cool Storage Brick Building 60 by 120 feet having been remodeled and improved in line with our
long experience, (being pioneers in our manner of storing nursery stock), with the installation of a new
engine for our water system, with mains to our storage and packing building, trench grounds, propcegating
sheds, and other buildings, enables us to care for and handle nursery stock in the best manner. The ad-
vantages for storing orders for winter and early spring, destined for distant points, for shipment during
open spells or when desired, will at once be apparent.

PACKING AND DELIVERING SEASON

_Usually commences here about October Ist to 10th in the fall (Peonies in September) and continues
until December for; spring from open ground about February 10th, often earlier. For the West and South
we pack and ship in mild weather from Storage House all winter, and it gives ample time for leng shipments.

SECURE YOUR SELECTION BY SENDING ORDERS EARLY

If our friends on receiving this catalogue will make a list of trees and plants they want and send their
orders at once, we can reserve until proper shipping season stock that may be on hand when order is re-
celved. Orders will be booked by complying with terms and conditions of sale.

EXECUTION OF ORDERS

We endeavor to execute all orders promptly and as nearly as possible in rotation as received, giving
each order the most scrupulous care and attention to insure reasonable satisfaction. . Occasional errors
may occur in the many details incident to our business. We are alwavs ready to correct such on proper
proof, but canr ot unless informed promptly just what the trouble is. When the bill and goods are receiv-
ed, check it up at once, examining packing material for small plants; if not correct, advise us of the fact
then and there. Adjustments are easy while the details are fresh in mind, but we cannot be blamed for
looking with suspicion upon complaints made weeks afterward, or in refusing to consider them.

FALL PLANTING

The spring planting season is often of such short duration that much intended work is necessarily
omitted er postponed. In the fall there is an abundance of time to plan and plant, and the work therefore
can frequently be done as satisfactorily as in the spring. .

The once prevalent notion that fall planting is not advantageous has proven to be erroneous, and,
with the exception of a few varieties of evergreens, almost everything called hardy can be planted success-
fully in the autumn, except in some regions where the winters are extremely severe, or in exposed situations,
in which case spring planting is absolutely necessary.

Plant as early after the first killing frosts as the trees become thoroughly dormant, thereby avoiding
delay until the spring months. In a climate like this, where the severe cold is often broken, trees planted
in November or December will before spring have formed new roots sufficient to give it a firm start in the
ground, and will grow off more rapidly when spring growth begins. Trees can be planted up till May, but
the success is rendered less certain than if planting is done in fall or early spring.

CARE OF TREES AND PLANTS ON ARRIVAL

If not ready to plant on arrival, or if you have more than you can plant in a few hours, the stock
should at once be heeled-in. Select a well drained spot, dig a trench about 18 inches deep, sloping on one
side. Spread out the trees so that the dirt will come in contact with all the roots; sift in fine dirt among
them, fill the trench partly full, and press firmly with the feet; then fill up level with the top ef the ground
press again with the feet, and cover with loose dirt. Trees thus treated will keep in good condition for a
long time. Do not cover with litter or straw, as it will make a harbor for mice during the winter.

If frozen when received, do not hasten thawing, but bury the package, unopened, in well drained
ground, or place it in a cool cellar, free from frost, so it will thaw out gradually without being exposed to
the air. Treated thus, they will not be injured by freezing.

If they should appear dry or shriveled, through delay in transit, or from any cause, take them from
the package and plunge half-way to the top in a hole filled with water, or preferably bury the roots in
moist ground in an inclining position so as to cover half or more of the tops, and let them remain 24 hours
or more until they regain a fresh, plump appearance, when they may be planted. Strawberry plants and
small evergreens should not have their tops immersed or buried, as injury results thereby.

Planting. Dig the holes wide enough to admit the roots in their natural position without cramping
and deep enough to allow the tree to stand the same depth it stood in the nursery except dwarf pears,
which’thould be set a little deeper so as to cover the quince stock on which they are worked. Throw the

2 WILD BROS NURSERY CO., SARCOXIE MO.

surface and sub-soil in separate piles. Cut off smoothly from the under side all broken or bruised roots,
and cut back the last season’s growth of top one-half to two-thirds, leaving two or three good buds to each
branch—except for fall panting in cold climates, when it is better to defer top-pruning until spring, just
before the buds start. At ull times keep the roots carefully protected from sun and wind. Place the trees
in the hole, fill in with fine surface soil, working it in among the roots, spreading them out in their natural
position. When the hole is half full, pour in a little water and press firmly with the foot, filling all cavities
and air spaces with earth, so it will come in contact with all the roots. Continue to fillup and keep pressed
until the hole is full, when it should be covered with loose dirt or mulch to prevent baking.

PLANTS BY MAIL

We ship many plants and small trees to distant customers by mail, the postal rate being one cent for
each two ounces. Where not quoted post-paid, be sure to allow additionai for postage. Mailing sizes are
usually smaller than those sent by express.

APPLE TREES IN ASSORTMENT.

The first fruit in importance is the apple. Its period of ripening, unlike that of other fruits, extends
nearly or quite through the year. By making judicious selections of summer, autumn and winter varieties.
a constant succession can easily be obtained of this indispensable fruit. The dates of ripening named in
this catalogue are for this vicinity, and will vary somewhat with the location, north or south.

Five of a variety at 10 rate, less at each rate; 50, not less than 10 of a variety, at 100 rate. Packed
free if order amounts to $3 .00 or over if by freight, or $1.00 if by express.

they need attention, not left to take care of themselves. The quality is much improved if they are-properly
ripened indoors, the early varieties being gathered about ten days before maturity, autumn varieties two
weeks, and winter varieties left on the trees as long as possible before the leaves begin to fall. Place them
in a cool place, sorting occasionally.

STRAWBERRIES.

There is a growing demand for strawberry plants for
fall planting, particularly in sectlons where plants set at this
season and properly cared for give best results.

valuable feature connected with fall planting is in
that the planter usually has more liesure at this season than
in the spring when other crops must be prepared for; also
a number of trials have demonstrated the fact that fall
set plants withstand drouth the succeeding summer better
than plants set the same spring.
_ ,A point that must not be overlooked is that proper care
is given the soil before planting and in mulching.
-. Never use ground that has not been well plowed and
pulverized, though it must be firmly rolled or packed before
planting. Also avoid using ground that is apt to be cold
and wet during winter, and never set a bed where there are
likely to be an unusual amount of weeds. Plant in rows four
feet apart, and four, three, or two feet apart in the rows;
perhaps three feet will give best results in most cases.

As soon as planted, unless the soil is very moist, if
possible give the plants a sprinkling of water, though this
must be done in late afternoon or evening if the sun is hot.

If the ground be dry it is well to apply the mulch at
once, which may be of rotted leaves or straw, preferably
broken straw, but not that which has ‘‘cheat seed’’ in it.
Very well rotted strawy manure is excellent, though care
must be taken that it is not fresh.

The following list comprises a large part of the most
valuable varieties and are those which we consider most

suitable for the season of planting. Those designated
: “Smperfect flowered’ should have every third or fourth row
planted with some ‘‘perfect flowered’ variety. : é

_ The prices quoted below are for fall delivery after October 20th. Those desiring to purchase in the
spring should send for new list, as straw berry prices fluctuate considerably. For spring planting order
early by all means; as early as possible if to be shipped by freight, small lots and late in the season must be
sent by express. The same cultural directions will apply to spring planting, except that the mulch is not
applied till fall, they seldom require watering when planting, and, owing to the cultivation they receive,
it is not so essential that the ground be free of weeds. Cultivate well, and by fall the plants will have
matted the ground well over. :

We do not recommend freight shipment of strawberry plants, and will not forward in that manner
unless especially instructed to do so, except small lots with trees, in which case they carry better than if
shipment consists entirely of plants; however, express 1s preferable in any event.

_We endeavor to handle our plants in the very best manner. They are carefully cleaned, the roots
straightened, neatly tied in bunches, labeled, and packed and mossed.

Twelve strawberry plants will be mailed for 10c additional to the 10 rate of the respective varieties;
at the 100 rate, if desired by mail, add 25c per 100 for postage, packing, etc.

Orders should be for not less than 10 of a variety.

Number of plants required per acre: 4 feet by 2 feet, 5445 plants; 4 feet by 3 feet, 3630 plants.

HARDY ORNAMENTAL IV ER-
GREENS.

' (Conifera or Cone Bearers.)

‘This group of trees comprises some of the most beautiful and also some of the most useful trees in
cultivation. By selection, varieties aré found that are adaptable to almost any situation, soil or climate;
being suitable for windbreaks, hedges, back-grounds for massing of shrubs or as individual specimens, any
of which show their intrinsic merit of form, foliage‘and hardiness.

WHEN TRANSPLANTING EVEGRREENS, care must be taken that the roots are not exposed to
the air more than-is absolutely necessary, for théir sap being resinous, if allowed to harden will not revive.
Transplant them carefully making sure that the soil is well firmed or tamped about the roots, and keep
the top soil lightly stirred about the trees the first two years.

TIME OF TRANSPLANTING depends.upon your location. It has been usual to transplant ever-
greens in the spring from the middle of March to the middle of May when the ground is moist and the trees
are making a strong growth. E

“AUGUST PLANTING” including September has been very successfully done in the eastern states
and locations where these months are not hot and dry and rain is quite plentiful or an abundance of water
available. ‘ This time is widely reeommended,though success depends largely upon a proper performance
of the work.

The stock listed below has been several times TRANSPLANTED AND ROOT PRUNED and will be
found particularly adapted to general planting for Home Grounds, Parks, Cemetery, Landscape and Lawn.

Specimen trees or Extra Select will be furnished at from 25 to 50% above the listed price.

At these prices the roots will be carefully packed in damp moss and hay. If desired with ball of earth
sewed in burlap add the following to prices quoted, to cover cost of same. 1% to 2 ft, or under 10c each;
$1 ues 10; 2to3ft., 15c each, $1.20 per 10; 3 to 4 ft. 20c each,$1.50 per 10; 4 to 5 ft. 25c each, $2.00

part of the summer. Keep the plants in proper size and shape by the use of the knife or pruning shears.
In laying out new grounds, shrubs should be planted extensively, as they. make .a beautiful display in a
short time. he

ROSES.

These most beautiful of flowers are prized for their fragrance, beauty of form and color and long period
of blooming,especially the Ever-blooming Tea and Noisette class, which, however, require some winter pro-
tection by covering the plants with evergreen boughs, coarse straw, or other material. All the Hybrid
Perpetual and Climbers are hardy here. A rich soil is required to obtain best results. Annual pruning in
the early spring; a little cutting back after the first blooms of the Hybrid Perpetual and Tea class, will
produce more flowers with better stems.

NOTE: The roses we offer are grown in the open ground and must not be compared with the 16%
priced small plants usually offered in dollar collections sent by mail. Our plants are suitable for general
planting and will average from 8 to 20 inches in height according to class. Climbing roses will be cut back

‘to about 15 inches of cane. We can supply mailing size plants of a number of varieties, at the each rate
postpaid. These are usualy smaller than those sent by express.

Five of a variety at the 10 rate; less at each rate. Write for 100 rate.

CLEMATIS.

CLEMATIS, Paniculata. AMPELOPSIS on left.

These graceful, free flowering vines are well adapted for trailing on Pereanicn porches, etc., or for
covering walls and fences. A loamy, fertile soil should be given them, and for best results it should be fret
quently enriched. In early spring cut away all weak branches and train carefully on a support to preven -
their whipping in the breeze, as splitting of the bark by twisting is fatal to the plant.

WATER LILLIES.

The pleasures and superb results attained with water gardens renders them p rticularly attractive for
home grounds. Few plants can surpass in splendor the stately Lotus or dainty Water Lily. Their re-
quirements are the simplest; sunshine, water, and plenty of rich soil. They flourish in ponds, lakes, slug—
gish streams, and even sunken tubs have been used successfully. The Nymphaes may be planted in April
ot May, the Nelumbiums early in June. The varieties here offered are all hardy.

GLADIOLUS.

No flower has gained more rapidly in public favor, for in addition to the in
trinsic merit of the flower it is easy of cultivation and blooms freely. They
thrive in almost any good soil. Plant the b lbs six to nine inches apart, the
large ones four inches and the small ones three inches deep. Make several
plantings of the smaller bulbs first as soon as the ground is suff ciently diy and
warm, then at intervals of two weeks during the spring and early summer. In
this way a succession of bloom may be had from mid-summer until frost. In
autumn, befcre freezing, they should be dug and dried. Separate the new bulbs
from the cld earth and old roots removed, and then store in a cool, dry place,
secure from frost until spring. Kor boquets the flowers are admirable. As
soon as the two lower flowers open the spike may be cut and placed in water,
and it will last. for days, all the flowers opening as well as if growing in the garden.

FORMULA

FUNGICIDES
Bordeaux Mixture—

Copper sulphate (Blue Vitriocl) 4 pounds; Cuicklime 4 pounds: Water 50 gallons.

Dissolve the copper sulphate by hanging it in a sack in a wooden tub of water so that the bott f
the sack is just below the surface of the water. Slake the lime slowly so as to get it into as fine Heer
as possible. Add twentv-five gallons of water to the lime, dilute the copper sulphate to care all =
lons, then pour the two liquids at the same time into the spray barrel or tank. This is a very imp Sear
step in making Bordeaux mixture and is the one thing most frequently neglected. In making up thie face

mula, if the two materials are mixed in a concentrated form the solid particles formed in the mixture will

not stay in suspension well. This will result in an unequal Beavers in spraying, the first of the mixture
being stronger than the last.

Ammoniacal Copper Carbonate—

Copper carbonate 6 ounces; Strong Ammonia (just enough to dissolve the carbonate) about 3 pints;
Water to make 50 gallons.

issolve the copper carbonate in the ammonia, using no more of the ammonia than will barely dis-
solve the copper carbonate. When all is in solution, add fifty gallons of water and it is ready to use.
INSECTICIDES.

Paris Green— Paris green 1 pound; Quick lime 3 pounds; Water 100 to 175 gallons.

This insecticide is for biting insects only. It may be applied along with Bordeaux mixture, in which
ease the Bordeaux mixture is considered as so much water and the Paris green and lime added to it in the
above proportions. The Paris green will mix with the water more readily if mixed with the lime after

slaking and before putting into the spray tank. If added dry to the water, it is apt to float around on top
of the liquid.

Arsenite of Soda—

Powdered white arsenic 2 pounds; Sal-soda 8 pounds; water 2 gallons.

Boil until all of the arsenic is dissolved and replace all of the water that was lost in boiling. Other-
wise some of the materials will crystalize out upon cooling. Place in an earthen vessel and use as a stock
solution. One pint of the stock solution is equivalent to four ounces of Paris green and is used in the same
way. One pint of this solution added to two pounds of freshly slaked lime is sufficient for fifty gallons of
water. This may be used in Bordeaux mixture by considering the Bordeaux mixture as so much water,
mixing the arsenite with the lime as above mentioned.

Arsenate of Lead—

Lead acetate 24 ounces; Arsenate of soda 8 ounces; water 100 gallons.

Use only the verv best ‘chemicals in making this preparation. Dissolve each of the materials in a
separate bucket half full of water. After both are thoroughly dissolved, pour them together into another
bucket and allow the mixture to stand for a few hours. A white precipitate is formed which is the arsenate

of lead: All of the bucketful should be added to a spray tank containing one hundred gallons of water and
jb is ready for use.
